Oh yeah,

I forgot to tell you guys not to wax your car. This is another hold over from the laquer days. Wax on base/clear yellows you clear because paint continues to breath through out its life. The chemicals hit the wax and are forced to stagnate between the body and the wax instead of evaporating into the environment. Back before hardened outer coats wax was required to provide a protective layer. These days you a better off using a good glaze coat from Maquire's or 3M.
